Granted I don't know about software development, but I thought that the way Java was supposed to work was develop once, and easily port to multiple platforms.
I don't know a whole lot about satellites, and this is nice, however what would be really useful information, and this info may or may not be available, would be when you click on a satellite, what the satellite does, as well as the country of origin, declination, etc. I would kind of like to know who owns the satellite, not just what country that company is in. I kind of feel like that is giving the wrong answer in that field.
I would like to know how to fix this kind of information also. Incorrect Geocoding has affected my life in many ways.
About a year ago, I went for a job interview in a suburb of my city that I am unfamiliar with. It started out normal, they gave me the address over the phone. I looked it up in google maps, and printed out a map from my place to there. I also punched it up in my GPS in my car. It took me there. It took me to a residence, not a business. It turns out that where the place is on a street, there is an identically named avenue a few miles away, and all maps and directions point to the incorrect place, despite typing it either way. I was late to the interview because I was in the wrong spot.
This business gets their address misprinted in the phone book every year also, even though they point it out manually, every year, it never gets fixed because somewhere it says otherwise, incorrectly.
I pointed this mistake out to Google, they still haven't fixed it.
The neighborhood I live, underwent a zip code split about a year and a half ago, and I live in a new zip code now. Most websites and other places do not recognize this new zip code, or say it's otherwise invalid. Including Google Maps. A year and a freaking half later... It would seem that this new zip code only exists to the postal service.

If only they had waited another week, they would have made the 40th anniversary of that mouse. That would have been really something...
It's a regular pulitzer.
I wonder how many days 3.5 million processor hours actually is. I run SETI@home still, I wonder if that's comparable.
Hmm, I thought cow orkers tended toward the Republicans more?
Hmm, would that involve bovines that look like elephants?

I've never had a first post before.
I haven't found any TV shows I like about Tech in a long time, but I like Make magazine.
If you mean a highly successful duplication of a highly successful original idea, then yes.

I wonder what would be tougher for Viacom's people to work with, 1 single text file that is 4 terabytes big, or 4-quadrillion 1k files.

Hmm, funny, I did.
